ATV Accidents and Injury Risks in Rural New Hampshire
Sunday’s serious ATV accident in Fitzwilliam is a stark reminder of the dangers recreational riders can face—even in familiar terrain. New Hampshire’s wooded trails and rural backroads are popular for off-road vehicles, but they also present inherent risks, especially in areas with limited visibility, uneven ground, or dense tree cover.
Crashes involving ATVs or UTVs often lead to serious injuries due to the limited protection offered by these vehicles. Even with helmets and safety equipment, riders may suffer trauma ranging from broken bones to head or spinal injuries—especially in rollovers or ejection scenarios.
In rural incidents like this one, emergency response can be further complicated by access challenges and distance from medical facilities. That’s why air medical services are often called in when life-threatening injuries are suspected.
New Hampshire Fish and Game regularly investigates off-road crashes involving recreational vehicles, as they oversee trail systems and enforce safety regulations. Their involvement ensures a thorough review of conditions, possible equipment issues, and rider conduct.
As off-road activity increases throughout the region during warmer months, riders are reminded to follow all safety guidelines, wear proper gear, and avoid riding alone in remote areas. Responsible operation remains the most effective way to reduce crash risk.
